We will be running a remote-optimised domain-driven design workshop on 15–16th June where we will use some of the techniques discussed in this post and many others, like the bounded context canvas. Anticipating Future Innovations The limitations that exist now for both in-person and remote modelling will not exist in the future.

The Nature of Evolution New innovations often become the platform for future innovations. Since then, Google Maps has become the foundation for many other innovations after being opened up to developers via APIs. Moving from a single to multiple products can be one of those situations where architecture starts to get in the way.
